i do not own twilight or the little mermaid

Chapter 10

Bella P.O.V

I was slightly caught off guard, but in a good way. I looked up into his eyes and saw so much geniality.

"Depends where we're going," I replied, at this he smiled that crooked smile I loved so much. Wait…loved?

"That's a surprise," he smiled.

"I hate surprises," I mumbled. Edward chuckled and stepped closer to me. "Well you'll like this one," his gaze caught mine and I felt so dazzled. His hand reached over to grab mine, lacings his fingers with mine, this felt so right. I looked down at the sand and noticed the tide slowly inching closer to my feet, I scattered away.

"What is it?" Edward asked concerned.

"Um, the sand is just warm that's all," I lied but smiled none the less, but that left my face as I saw the mischievous grin appearing on Edward's face. I started backing away a little but his hand pulled me back to him, allowing me to fall directly into his chest.

"What are you—AH!"

Edward P.O.V.

I placed my hand behind Bella's knees and detached my hand from hers, smoothly picking her up bridal, she seemed slightly shocked. Her arms quickly wrapped around my neck, her eyes looking up at mine with slight fear.

"We can't have your feet burning now can we?" I grinned down at her after I saw that small smile creep on her face. Having her in my arms felt so right, I never wanted this moment to end, so I purposely walked ever so slowly on the way back home. She felt so light in my arms, almost like a feather, but a feather that was sent down by the angels in heaven. Her arms around my neck tightened with every step I took, her warmth was enveloping my cold body, a feeling I have never felt before. It seemed as if my dead heart was being brought back to life after its long death.

Time was against me as we arrived far too fast back to the front door, but I refused to stop there. I had Bella open the door and made my way throughout the house, the place was empty…hmm the family must be out. I carried her around the house finally arriving in her room.

"You can let me go now," I looked down at Bella when she spoke. I sadly obliged and set her feet on the ground but didn't let her go quite yet. She looked around the room, purposely trying to escape my gaze. My arms were settled around her waist and her arms were around my neck securely, leaving the warmth for me to enjoy. (A/N: FLUFF ALERT!!) Bella finally looked up at me and our gazes entwined. It seemed like no one other than us existed, her eyes were a deep pool of brown, drowning me in their warmth and comfort.

Her hands began playing with the hairs closest to my neck (A/N: I don't know what to call them O.o) I removed one of my arms from her neck and cupped her jaw with my hand.

She looked at me with a look of such compassion, that I was confused if that look was actually for me. My thumb caressed her check, a small smile spread over my face. She tilted her head to the side slightly, the un-needed breath caught in my throat.

"It's you," I breathed, she looked at me in confusion. It's her, the creature from the water, the mysterious goddess, it's her!
